ing in the ranks more years would roll
upon them without any special benefit
regarding conjugality.
Before they had entirely left the
hall, on this eventful night, Miss
s., preachers daughter, offered
a resolution to blend the society in
with a church society for the aid of
the heathens. 1t was considered, and
on the following Thursday evening
they were to meet again for further
action.
Of course the boys were not cog.
infant of what had happened, nor
did they know until two days later.
1t appears that while one of the girls
was explaining the matter to her
mother, her brother who was in the
adjoining room. overheard the CONVEX
sation, and reported it to the members
of the club, who at once took action
upon it, resolving to have nothing to
to do with any girl who joined the new
society, claiming that the many lady
visitors were always ready to visit an ice
cream festival with them. and to take
buggy ride, and as enjoyment was
what they wanted they were perfectly
satisfied.
Thursday night came, and all the
girls were at their place of meeting,

The very floor shook as they patted
their feet upon it. Some one had
divuIged the secret, and nobody knew
who it was. They had heard of the
action of the club, and taking
into consideration this fact, as well as
the fact that summer visitors were
leaveing they were somewhat puzzled
as to what to do. Finally one of the
members arose and said:
"Young ladies, each of you are
aware that at our last meeting we had
some trouble, the nature of which
caused the death of the society which
we organized last winter. Upon a
motion of one of our members we have
met here tonight to take action upon
entering in with another society for
the benefit of foreigners, and now it
has come to pass that our secret has
been made known to the boys club
and they will have nothing to do with
any of us who join this "heathen
society" After considering carefully
these things. say l am not in favor
of joining it, nor any society that is
Objectionable to the boys. / have
stood this ostracizing business long
enough, / want to join the society of
my gentlemen friends and have good
time"
For few minutes there was COM
plete silence, then the noise commenc-
ed. The girls all tried to talk at once.
After much struggling, however, Miss
Jones managed to gain the floor, and
said:

bers', observed the actions of at least
half dozen of our girls, and they
were very shocking, Miss Ellsworth.

r The noise drowned the rest of the
I speech, but after promising to indulge

The motion was seconded, but not
carried. Before it proved of no avail,
